WE’RE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS

Our Supervisory Committee is looking for member volunteers who are ready and able to serve their community.

At our credit union, the Supervisory Committee plays a special role: they’re the independent member volunteers who help keep your credit union safe, sound, and operating with integrity.

 

WHAT IS A SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBER?

Supervisory Committee members are fellow credit union members who volunteer their time. They’re not employees, which helps them stay objective and focused on what matters most: you, our member.

They are like guardians of our cooperative - here to make sure everything behind the scenes is running the way it should.
